Part of what’s interesting about the ‘Star Wars’ world is, villains are complex, obviously, and they occupy, as in life, different roles within different organizations. Simon Kinberg Read Quote
I thought working in other universes that had a lot of history – and I had personal affection for, like ‘Sherlock Holmes’ or the ‘X-Men’ movies – would prepare me for it. But the truth is, there is nothing and has never been anything like ‘Star Wars.’ Simon Kinberg Read Quote
When you’re actually inside the experience of writing something, in some ways, you’re just writing. Ultimately, you fall in love with the characters, and you get excited about the story, and you’re sitting there in your sweatpants or pajamas, and you do get a little lost in it.

I hope that ‘Gambit’ doesn’t take ten years, but it takes a little honing to get that tone and that voice exactly right. The character has such a specific voice in the comic, in the same way that Deadpool has a specific voice in the comic, that we want to make sure that we capture that voice on the page.

The most important thing for me in an action sequence is, you understand the characters’ intention and the challenges the characters are going to have to face: what the character story is within the action sequence. Simon Kinberg Read Quote
I produce more movies than I write, but when I write, it is such an immersive, intense process that it probably takes as much or more time than producing multiple movies. Simon Kinberg Read Quote
I’m like a geek that grew up playing with Star Wars toys and creating action sequences, essentially, with toys. Simon Kinberg Read Quote
